Good to see the Hypothermia leaflet. A shame it repeats the old myth about 112 being somehow better than 999 - they're exactly the same.
There's a reference to "rule 9 kit" - but none of the various section 9s in the handbook seem to have anything to do with kit. Is this something that changed with the new safety rules, but not in time to correct the leaflet? Either way - can someone point me at the appropriate list?

Well spotted Toredor

The reason behind 112 over 999 is it's move universally recognised through out Europe, 999 I think just works in the uk. As you say both numbers work equally fast.

For Rule 9 it should read rule 12 Equipment I believe but I'm sure most would realise that.

999 I think just works in the uk.

and in Ireland.

[Witton Park]

On a recent safety course I was told that 112 had a tracking capability so it helped the first responders get to you earlier than they may otherwise do.
I haven't got a clue whether it's right or not, but First Aid trainers are also putting that about.

[Toreador]

It's a widespread belief. But 999 does the same, they both connect to the same system.

The FRA Handbook has landed

[Richard Head]

Got an email last Thursday to say my dads Handbook had been dispatched but no sign of it yet

[Stagger]

Arrived last Friday in deepest Yorkshire.

Already planning next year's trips. I notice the LDMT venue is in the handbook. Surely this can't be right though I'm quite pleased if it is a return to Borrowdale -plenty of LK ;-)

[Lemmy]

Arrived in Staffordshire on Friday too.

Had a pub meeting yesterday afternoon after the local Roaches Christmas Cracker and penned in the first dozen or so races.

Gotta fill the inside rear leaf results page at least this year

Arrived last Friday in deepest Yorkshire.

Mine arrived at the foot of Pendle last Friday too.
I reckon they must target the hilly areas first ~ quite right too
